You can’t just oust a fellow Dutchman!!!

Yeah a lot of it is in the unstable builds for practically any mainstream distros.

Absolutely, it’s just the browser extensions most end-users want/need that would cause them distress in that regard. It’s simply not as user friendly from what I can recall, it’s been a while since I last used it so it may have improved since then

I wouldn’t recommend LibreWolf to the average user as they’ll unfoubtedly stretch their attack surface thin.

Literally this. It’s as easy as making a Bluesky account and mass changing all links to it, and putting a permanent banner on their site with their handle.

Haven’t heard of Tuta Mail, I’l be sure to look into it. Already in the process (mentally) to transition to Mullvad. The lack of port forwarding is a shame but their privacy and security is on another level.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Edit: All clients are OSS??? That’s amazing!!!

I think I love you.

Even at the cost of using a Google phone? In any case if I decide to go with it I’ll be sure to donate match the price of whichever pixel I end up with ty :)

Damn. That’s such a shame, I was considering the fairphone with /e/ os but it’s looking less and less appealing. I guess flashing it with CalyxOS and removing/replacing microg might be the better option. Either that or bite the bullet and get a pixel n’ flash GrapheneOS to it.

I deeply aplreciate your expansion on the matter :)

very very bad

Care to elaborate?

Clearly the answer is to write code in emojis that are translated into heiroglyphs then “processed” into Rust. And add a bunch of beloved AI keywords here and there. That way when it learns to block it they’ll inadvertantly block their favorite buzzwords

For starters I’d recommend FreshRSS to selfhost your RSS feeds https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS

And for the creation of one I’d recommend looking into RSS-Bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge?tab=readme-ov-file

RSS-Bridge lets you make RSS feeds for sites that don’t have one.

This. Don’t let AI or AI posters know that you caught on. Just report them and be on your way.

Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here’s to hoping 🤞

It would seem I forgot to add the /s

In any case, I’m simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.

I hope he learns to hone his ego, it’s within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

Heads up @dansup@lemmy.world the creator of these apps refuses to open source the projects stating (Loops):

Not until it’s stable

Anyone who’s followed any project of any kind knows that this is just a formal way of saying they just won’t do it.

Not only is it not truly OSS, but he’s a bit of dick. Like weirdly so. Banning people for reverse engineering the API, creating a poll on whether or not ads should be introduced (only to 180 on the matter claiming the poll was a joke but also emphasizing that the poll was in favor of ads)

On the plus side he dislikes Trump, so there’s that I guess.

In any case I highly recommend people read this comment and the sources linked:

After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

KDE Plasma is honestly impressive in terms of customization, I’m running it on Pop!_OS on an ancient Macbook and I have it customized to look like Window 7.

Good stuff.

10000% This. Using Paypal for buying on sites like Ebay is the way to go in terms of consumer protection. If a seller doesn’t take PP then fuck 'em
